The Retail Value Chain Federation (RVCF) is an independent organization in the retail sector, founded in 1999 and based in South Plainfield, New Jersey. It concentrates on trading partner collaboration and supply chain optimization, supporting supplier relationship management and the development of best practices to improve efficiency and speed to customer. The federation connects retailers, suppliers, and service providers and offers collaborative forums for retailers and suppliers, as well as 3PL/4PL groups, an annual fall conference with education and pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings, and a web-based Compliance Clearinghouse that tracks retailer requirements and sends updates to suppliers. Members gain access to benchmarking tools, white papers, case studies, surveys, archived conference content, and a member portal to support improving OTIF performance and overall supply chain efficiency. It positions itself as a neutral authority in retail supply chain collaboration, promoting practical solutions and benchmarking to help retailers and suppliers improve speed to market and reduce errors; a notable recent development is the December 2021 appointment of Susan Pichoff as Retail Executive Advisor.
